@Geojoek I've only had a static buildup problem one time, but it was impressive. I'd put up a vertically oriented full-wave 80 meter delta loop and fed it with homebrew 4-inch open wire line. This was in the high desert of Southern Nevada, very dry air.

Nearly the installation. Went out the next day with my 8 year-old son who was helping, and I heard a loud regular Snap! Snap! Snap! with a bright blue spark at the feedthrus going into the building. My son reached for the wires, I yelled NO!, but he didn't listen. Knocked him on his ass and scared him.

To calm him I began to explain what was happening, that the dry wind was generating static on the antenna, and that a static shock like that is painful but harmless. So I too touched it. Helluva wallop. It really hurt. Felt it all the way to my right shoulder. There's quite a lot of capacitance.

So what to do? I simply installed static drain resistors both both legs of the feedline to ground. 2 watt carbons. Don't remember what value I chose. I think I calculated it by calculating the voltage on the 600 ohm feeder at 3.5 kW and chose a value that consumed 1 watt of that power.
